Customers love the product's exceptional ease of use, strong overall performance, and attractive price point. They also appreciate its compact size, lightweight design, impressive speed, and quiet operation, along with its convenient USB-only power and broad compatibility. The only notable concern raised by customers is the requirement for separate software when using it with a Mac.

    I don't understand why computers don't come with disc drives anymore. But if you're gonna buy an external disc drive, this one is a great buy. The Best Buy, if you will lol.

    I primarily use this LG drive to burn ISO image files from a windows 10 computer to both DVD and CD disks. It reads and writes perfectly without any problems and is perfect for packing in a laptop case. The provided USB cable is all it needs to work. I bought one for my desktop and my laptop. Good product.

    I purchased this when the original DVD drive in my Toshiba laptop stopped reading the disk. Solved the problem easily. Since then, I took my laptop in to the Geek Squad (on my Geek Squad service agreement), when they cleaned the computer (keys were sticking), they also got the original DVD drive working again.

    It feels very flimsy, but it works well. It is easy to set up and use. Caution must be used when opening drawer as it feels like it would break with even the slightest excess pressure.

    As many laptop manufactures trend to building systems without optical drives, this unit fills a need that is growing for people using software still on disks. Bought this fill such a need and it didn't disappoint me. Used it to install software on a new computer and it works flawlessly. Truly plug and play.
